Hey y'all, I'm Leslie and I utilize my 20 years of experience and trainings at the top research and intervention programs to tailor proven methods to your needs and create success. My clients are children, teens, and young adults, who are facing challenges with school or transitions. They often experience meltdowns or may retreat into themselves, and sometimes they express their feelings by acting out. Many of my clients have been trying to navigate feelings of hopelessness and not belonging in an overstimulating, high demand world.
I work with your child or adolescent to empower a greater understanding of themselves and develop tools for a better way to navigate challenges. In my office we play, we learn and we connect. I also meet with you as the guardian regularly to provide consistent support and tools that you can use at home. When your family enters my office we are a team.
I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive space where you and your child can feel seen, heard, and valued. I have three kids of my own and am honored to be trusted by you. I'm in your corner.
